Yeah, I have emailed Cees about it. And there is also a bug now with the
network rewrite - see my other post.

Eh, no. :-)

marvin.bluefish.se is my workstation and it is sitting here beside me as
a dead duck. We changed its fan and then it started hanging on me -
don't know really why - perhaps it get's too hot. And there is no SM
running there now anyway.

In fact, I haven't built mirroring yet (even though it is pretty easy to
do) so a proper "fall back" will not happen today in case map1 starts
flunking. The idea with the server list is more to be able to move the
map in case of a problem without having the clients failing.

PS. SM on map1 should autostart properly when the machine comes up
again. If the machine is actually down (and not just the wires).
